A Fling at Mat Alder.on,s -csuss.- .-

The Heppner, Oregon. Gazstte, enc
tering into the spirit Of fun, attempts
TO fasten the memorable effusion of
Matt Anderson upon Yerkes Of the
Chronicle and ascribes q greater
amount Of humor to the Chronicle
man than he can well stand under.
That paper says: lone of the best
told tales and most interesting ro-
mances in real life is that recently
published In book form by Mr..
Yerkes. Of the Bozeman, Montana,
Chronicle. 1t is entitled How i Bit
Between Her First and Second Comet
The: plot is that q very aristocrs tic
young lady from the centre Of culture
In the east, came out TO Bozeman 10
complete her education with some
western experience, which she soon
got. Her complete eastern education
availed her nothing in the sudden
emergency clauses of life In the west.
Mr.. Yerkes kindly offered to escort
her to divine service on Sunday even
ing. and she graciously accepted. 1t
90 happened thst q San Francisco
drummer had opened his trunk In the
hotel where the young lady was stop
ping, and an imprisoned flea hoped
out and started on an inspection tour
through the house. He Investigated
the young lady's room and found her
furnishings and other impediments
superb. He esconced himself between
her finst and second corset, and was In
q quiet doze when the lady and her
corset marched down the main aisle.
Then the big organ pealed forth its
soulful volume. lifting the people
toward heaven. 1t also awoke the
flea. The outer corset was coated With
'steel wire TO protect from stray COW
boy bullets, and flea could not injurs
1t. But the inside corset was Q warm
weather affair, easily probsd. and the
flea probed Il. The agitation that en-
sued 10 very amusingly told In Mr..
Yerkes' book. and the attending inev-
liable embarrassment is 90 delicately
dwelt upon, that the lady herself has
enjoyed II hugely. and has sent doz-
ems Of copies Of the book to fiiends In
the east who want western experience
without coming after II personally"

In spite Of adverse reports from Hell

GEO. C. MILN.
On the 10th of this month Geo. c.
Min, the delineator Of Shakespearian
and other characters will appear be-
fore Miles City audience. This will
not be his first appearance In this
place, as be has been an attraction
here for two successive years. Last
season he appeared in Othello, playing
the part of the dusky Moor. This
time he is advertised in Bulwer Lyt-
tone famous Richelieu. The Mar
quette Mich Jonrnal says: Better
acting has never been seen In Mar
quetie than Min In his famous curse
scene ip Richelieu last night. II was
more than great. and one gentleman
said. In the curse be was enough to
lift one out of his seat" From criti-
cism and from personal observation,
Min has been making rapid strides
toward the qualifications Of a finished
actor. Stepping directly from the
pulpit TO the stage his task has been q
Herculean one. By perseverance,,
pluck and o natural adaptability he
has won for himself laurels and
place on the American stage which
from appearances he means 10 hold.
Richelieu was first rendered by the
famous English trAgedian Macready,
for whom 1t was written. Richelieu
has been successively portrayed by the
elder Booth, Forrest, Fechter, and all
Of the renowned actors Of this century.
The character of the willy old cardinal
is considered the most difficult. and
yet one of the most finished parts in
acting that has ever been presented
on the English speaking stage.

The Pooling Issue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The regular meet
ing OF the chamber of commerce was held
to-day. Cornelius n. Bliss, ON behalf of
the special committee appointed to examine
the interstate commerce bill now pending
before congress, made his report. 1t re-
viewed the provisions of the bill and said
the committee objected to the prohibition
of higher charges for the longer haul. and
also prohibition of pooling. On the recon-
mendation of the committee resolutions
were adopted approving the senate bill No.
1,STs, except section 4, which prohibits
greater charges for shorter than a longer
haul; also section 5. which contains an abb
solute provision against pooling. 1t is sug-
gested to strike out or amend the bill in ac-
cordance with the following resolutions.
Resolved that, as the commissioners under
the proposed law will be charged with impor-
tant and intricate duties, they should, as far
as the political and non-partisan considera-
ton mentioned in the bill will admit, be Sc
lected with reference to their experience and
knowledge of the countr, and that the agri-
cultural, commercial and railroad interests
shall be represented upon such commission.

The Republic Disaster.

CLEVELAND. o., Jan. 6.-The scene of
the railroad accident near Republic is still
visited by many people. Some are friends
or relatives of those who perished there,
eager to ind some article they might have
had. But relics at this time are hard to
find. The track is clear and there is moth
ing to see save few bent reds, car wheels
and pieces OF charred bones. Among the
number who visited the scene Of the wreck
to-day was Warham Parks, of Oconomo-
wac Wis. a brother of Marshall H. Parks.
who perished in the wreck. Mr.. Parks
visited the scene of the disaster in company
with MI. Rankin and another officer of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company.
Rankin would say but little. but the
other officer spoke as to the responsibility
of the wreck. While he made no direct
charges. he talked in such a manner that
there could be no doubt the officers of the
road placed the responsibility directly Oh
the conductor and engineer of the freight
train. He said the officer never knew of
these men being intoxicated. but the way
they managed their train that night was a
fearful blunder. Marshall II. Parks was a
clerk in the department of the interior at
Washington. He was Oh his way to Chi
cago on official business Mr.. Parks could
find nothing that his brother had with him,
nor any trace of anything that would lead
him to identify any of the charred remains
as being those of his brother. An inquest
by the coroner will be instituted tomorrow
when the railroad officials and officers of
the wrecked trains W IL be here. The cor
oner is determined it shall be most

Rui.souriPacific sued.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-John NJ. Woodward,
to-day filed suit against the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company for $1,000, 900. Mr..
Woodward alleges that the above company
made a contract with him, by the terms OF
which he was, for the sum of $4,000. to
prove that the st. Louis & San Francisco
Railway company had forfeited all charter
rights to construct and operate railroad
between Pacific, Mo-, and st. Louis, and
that it had no right of way between these
two cities. The contract also stated that
he should form company to construct a
railroad over the survey of the San Fran
cisco road between these points to be oper-
ated in connection with the Missouri Pacific,
the latter to build 55 per cent. and he 45
per cent. of the capital stock of The railroad.
Mr.. Woodward alleges that r. S. Hayes,
first vice president of the Missouri Pacific,
signed the written contract but failed to
perform his part thereof. By such failure
Mr.. Woodward alleges that he has suffered
damages of 81, 900. 900.

Reycolted Firms.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-The notice of the
boycott against certain boot and shoe man
ufacturers of Chicago, mentioned in the
dispatches last night was great surprise
to the firms concerned. Messrs. Selz.
Schwab & Co. say they had consulted with
the state executive board when that body
was in session here, and had been COM
pletely vindicated by the investigation. c.
Il. Fargo &c Co.'S case was also considered
by the state board. which still has their case
under advisement. Mr.. Fargo said this
morning that he had in no way violated the
agreement made last spring. He expressed
regret at the boycott. and said that he was
sorry to have his goods boycotted by any
body OF men, but did not see what he could
do about the matter. Mr.. Selz. of Selz,
Schwab & Co., was very indignant at the
action Of the assemblies, and threatened to
invoke the aid of the law if he can find out
what to invoke 1t against.
